Play sound in background about react-native-sound HOT 13 CLOSED

Ok got it working. Added this to my Info.plist file. 👍

    <key>UIBackgroundModes</key>
    <array>
        <string>audio</string>
    </array>

Thanks for a great library!

What about Android?

@MarinaArimany I ended up using react-native-background-timer.

from react-native-sound.

I'm running the following and when I leave the app, the sound fades and then stops.

var filepath = '/path/to/audio/../sound.mp3';
var currentAudio = new Sound(filepath);
currentAudio.setCategory('Playback');

Am I doing something wrong? I've installed from:

npm install git+ssh://[email protected]/zmxv/react-native-sound.git

Hi, maybe #25 could help (iOS only)? To play sound when app is in background, you could simply call mySound.setCategory("Playback");

Not at the moment. PRs are always welcome.

@zmxv Any pointers on how this would be implemented, interested at seeing if I can add it in.

@zmxv Any status on merging #25? We need it and I would like to avoid running off a fork. Anything we can do to help move it along?

from react-native-sound.

Sorry for the slow response. I'll verify the PR in a day.

I cannot play audio in the background on Andorid. Any idea on what I could do wrong?
